  1. A few of the other Bills' message boards, including the one at BB.com, are indicating that Channel 7's Julie Fine spoke with Jim Kelly at Ilio Dipaolo's earlier today and he mentions having had discussions with Bill Cowher? Has anyone heard this? ALLEGEDLY this will be broadcast on Channel 7 at 5pm?

     

    Even if this is true it could, of course, be nothing--- but it sounds interesting.

  2. When you pair the odd non-mention of Cowher-to-Bills today on CBS, with the rumor of a visit this weekend, it does make you wonder.

     

    I've put myself out there with the prediction that Cowher will be the next HC, and I'm staying with that. Whether Ralph lands Cowher or not, I'm putting all my chips on the belief that Ralph is "all-in" on getting a title before he passes on.

     

    What greater motivation is there, than coming face-to-face with your own mortality?

     

    That's my thinking, exactly--- it is more logical that Cowher may (and probably will) come to Buffalo than not. A lack of patience and a ton of negativity due to this past decade of mediocrity is leading Bills fans to the brink throughout this whole process.

  3. can't access the link - what's the thesis??

     

    You can see the thread if you copy and paste--- but the entire thread is from 2 days ago, regarding a hurried potential press conference for the following day at OBD--- which obviously did not occur.

     

    There is a separate thread at that message board started 44 minutes ago by a well regarded poster that Cowher was in OP this weekend, however. The thread title is Cowher in Town.

  4. Isn't it obvious that for the CBS pregame to NOT link Cowher to the Bills is probably because there is, indeed, some validity to his interest? It's kind of a big decision, to say the least, and I'm sure he's taking his time to consider it--- and also that the Bills have allowed for him to do so. It doesn't mean he'll ultimately take the job, but if he had absolutely no interest then he would likely take this opportunity to lay the rumors to rest--- he's not going to string everybody along in this manner.

  5. I am fascinated not just by some of the content in this thread but also by how under the radar much of it is flying:

     

    * Logan is saying Jim Kelly is deeply involved in the pursuit of Cowher

    * Logan is involved in the same youth football program as Steve Tasker and son -- and someone created an account today just to point out that tidbit when EZC brushed by the subject

    * The image Logan is using for his Twitter account is obviously bogus

     

    Well, that is the same pic from the about page at eastaurora.org, and this Twitter account does go back to June, clearly representing the same guy. Interestingly, the first Twitter post is a plea to T.O. to move to East Aurora:

     

    @terrellowens81 Really think you should check out East Aurora. Jim Kelly and Steve Tasker call it home.

    I think he's sincere in that he is being fed insider info of some kind--- but obviously there is no way to know the degree of authenticity of that info.

  6. What? Where did see this

    Compares To: CATO JUNE, Houston -- Harris does not have the pass coverage ability of June, but both are more of a chase-and-trail type of linebacker who work better playing downhill and in the short-area pursuit than handling man coverage assignments. Like June, Harris will be limited to playing in a Cover-2 scheme. It is evident by his poor hip turn and marginal speed for the position that he will not be considered to be a strong safety by many teams.

  7. In the big picture, though, these things happen and I'm very pleased with Trent's recognition (even if we don't take into account that he's just started game 13 of his career).

     

    Remember how often we'd (and I'm referring to JP supporters from the past few seasons, a group in which I participated) make comments like this to justfiy JP's struggles? For the record, I do believe those were justifiable struggles for a young QB so early in his career--- but that's what makes this season and this group so special. Trent is well ahead of the curve at perhaps the most difficult "mental" position in the game. And it's not only Trent. The light has come on for the team as a whole in so many ways.

     

    It just came to mind when I was reading this post, and I think it's fun to reflect on how far they've come as a team from the head scratching/smashing ineptitude of the last decade.

     

    I know this season is only 4 games old and an awful lot can change in a single heartbeat--- but doesn't it seem like eons ago the Bills couldn't do anything right?
